We have spoken with representatives of AZStrut and they did seem
extremely interested. However, for whatever reason, they choose not to
follow up on out offers. We have offered to come in and discuss with
them the feasibility of installing Linux on the machines they send out
and about the licensing issues involved with sending out machined with
proprietary software on them. AFAIK, the ball is still in their court.
